Emergency Department Clinical Fellow; STequivalent

We have significant experience with Portfolio Pathway applications for GMC specialist registration, and can offer secondments, in anaesthetics, intensive care medicine, adult medicine and paediatrics.

We also support a work life balance. We have an annualised rota, self‑rostering and 1:3 weekends maximum. There is paid educational development time and a competitive salary. Both the city centre with Oxford spires and the historic university and the glorious countryside is within a close radius of the hospital. There is also easy access and public transport to London, the Cotswolds and the midlands.

This role is not eligible for GMC sponsorship.

Emergency Medicine Clinical Fellow equivalent to ST3 level or above.

Full time clinical fellows work a full shift rota across both departments, including day shifts, evening shifts, nights and weekends. The majority patients attending OUH EDs are ambulatory, and the majority will be discharged home at the end of their visit. Consequently, clinical fellows will spend much of their time diagnosing and treating ambulatory patients with minor illness and injury. However, clinical fellows will receive exposure to the full range of patients and conditions attending OUH emergency departments, with shifts in resus and paediatric areas.
